I recently said I wouldn't do the whole 30 again but I have changed my mind. I decided I want to give it a second shot and really focus this time. I saw a picture of someone on instagram who successfully did the 30 days and I want some results. I think my issues the last time were so grounded the old me (distorted body etc) that I couldn't see the nose on my face. I couldn't let go and just enjoy. I'm trying again because at the end of my month, I found out that I had been consuming sugar and soy. That SUCKS. This time around I'm going to read my labels more carefully and try to stick to whole food as much as possible. I even went and bought a cookbook that is whole30 approved minus the desserts. I really am going into it with a different mentality. Again, I will blog during and post pics of my meals as I create. Some thing I didn't do last time was really plan my meals out. I'm going to plan to the letter, even snacks. No room for error. Any money I would spend on eating out goes into a pot for the end :D We shall see!
Tomorrow is day 1. Here's to planning ahead of time.

Greetings from Paleo Land!!
Hi my friends and family,
It's been awhile since I've had a few minutes to sit and write. I woke up this morning feeling good. I popped out of bed and went to the store and ended up making honey muffins! It's been awhile and I thought I deserved a treat. I must say, I feel so much better NOT being on the whole 30. I had 90% Paleo day yesterday and I'm feeling very good about it. I'm amazed at how my body looks now as compared to when I was on the whole30. I feel like I'm leaner and smaller now. It's weird to me but I really think that my omitting certain things made my body feel like it wasn't ever getting certain things again. I keep thinking "I should do another whole30" but I don't think it's for me. I am much happier having more say in my food intake and having more control over whether or not I eat that corn tortilla or processed almond milk. I am going to lean toward more 90% Paleo this summer when I'm making all my own food (the big exception is when I'm in San Fran and eating delicious food). I enjoyed trying the whole30 but I'm certainly sticking to my version of Paleo. I love the way Paleo can be molded and changed for each individual person. Unlike the whole30, Paleo is in a way customizable for every body. For instance, I know I can handle rice and some other people BLOAT really terribly if they eat rice. I can handle almond milk but it can't have carageenan because that makes me bloat and feel awful. Some people can't eat too much nut flour and I know I can handle that. I can also sometimes manage dairy. It's interesting to see how each individual ingredient effects different people. Again, that's why I love Paleo so much, it's different for each person. I make it work for me. The whole30 is kind of one size fits all.
Well that's my two cents for today. My Civilized Caveman honey muffins await! Enjoy this beautiful Sunday.
